How far have we fallen


The clouds they grow grey dim as they sing their hym. In hopes of guidence, all while in defiance. They have lost touch with the good book and use it for their own twisted fruit. No longer does his name  reign, rather his name brings pain. Inaviding territories  claiming to be his voice, always seeking our own fame. We have been conditoned to believe, that everything is as it seems. That by condeming those up high, we somehow seem to take flight. We become taller and stronger, but torture others for longer. The book has lost its reputation, and we use it for preperation. preperation for war and consent. My how we all forget. The true meaning is now lost, like Hitler condeming Jews durring the hollocaust. The book is cold and unoppened until the day comes when it is too late. When we have filled our lives with hate. No longer are we profficent. Lives surrounded by brutal iggonrace. Until that day, our good souls rot away. Until that day the skies remain grey and the hyms of those who do not truly believe reign.

<p>The poem is about corruption. We as humans have corrupted the word of the bible to seek our own&nbsp;goals. We have bent the book to fit into our vote. We target gays and are ignorant to our own sins. We have a double standard within our religeon that states what we do is okay, but that others fall short of gods word. We are ignorant and need to be more accepting. Accepting like our god, who is the judge of peoples actions. We need to be peaceful and understanding regaurdless of race, religeion, and political part.</p>
